Training: Peacekeeping at Protests

Virtual Event

January 28 @ 7:30 pm 9:00 pm EST

Protests, rallies, and marches are important tactics to fight back against the Trump Administration. Volunteer peacekeepers help ensure the intended message is delivered by keeping the event safe. Peacekeepers may direct traffic, de-escalate conflict if there are counter protesters, and support the success of the action. There is a significant need for more peacekeepers. There are a range of roles for volunteers who complete the training.

Join this virtual one hour training by experienced peacekeeper Elaine Almquist. The training will cover:

Commitment to non-violence, the purpose of peacekeeping, planning for safety, peacekeeping positioning, how peacekeeping differs from other roles, de-escalation, and debriefing.
